Powers of Freedom: Reframing political thought
Nikolas Rose (1999)
Cambridge University Press

Themes of governing he takes up are freedom, social, advanced liberalism,
community, and numbers.

As far as Tom, I believe it was published in Educational Researcher. A book
that takes up similar themes is,

Struggling for the Soul
Thomas Popkewitz (1998)
Teachers College, Columbia University

This was his major study of the Teach for America program in which he saw
the normalization discourse being reproduced eventhough the agents
(teachers) in the program were diverse. For example, he looks at urban/rural
as a discurive space, rather than a geographical one, that normalizes
students in a space in which they can never be normal. Its part of the
"language turn" that has been avoided in CHAT since Vygotsky with the
exception of the Sociocultural Research conference coming up in Brazil.
